RUGER 10/22 upgrade

[zeddm91/30]

I have a stock ruger 10/22 with a fixed 4x scope and a bi pod. i want to make it as accurate as possible but cash is limited. I want to keep the cost to around 250$ any suggestions would be a big help.

Send the barrel out to have it set back and have a match chamber cut in it. This runs about 80$. Then get a good trigger job. Lots of good info on these mods at rimfirecentral.com

The cheapest way to do it is send the factory barrel out to Nemo, or one of the other guys over at Rimfirecentral.com that sets back and rechambers 10/22 barrels.

If you're looking for a more off-the-shelf solution, swap out the barrel for one of the many aftermarket offerings. Most are heavy (.92") profile, so you'll also need to replace the stock, which frankly is a good idea anyway unless you're trying to build a "stealth" gun.

Lastly, get a Volquartsen hammer to lighten up the factory trigger. You can spend more $ here with fancier solutions, but that will get you started.

Is the hammer hard to install?

I didn't think it was too bad. All you need is a good schematic, and there are tons of youtube vids to help.

Pretty simple: remove the trigger group, push out a couple of pins and put in the new parts.

You need to be aware of the difference between a 10/22 with the plastic trigger group and the older metal ones. The factory hammer found in the older metal trigger group comes with two bushes that are required if you swap in a Volquartsen hammer. If you have a 10/22 with the plastic trigger group, the hammer doesn't have the required buses, so you must get some before you can install the Volquartsen hammer. Its a minor point, but might save some frustration later.

rimfirecentral.com is the source for 10/22 upgrade info. Lots to read and helpful people if you have Q's.

I had that too, and I usually don't let my home email out on those types of sites either. But I did it, and I haven't had any spam or anything from them, other than to confirm my account for setup.

it's a great site!

Who do you use for internet access? Comcast allows for multiple email accounts. I think either five or seven. Not sure what Verizon allows. If you use one of these services, create another account. I did that with Comcast. I don't care if that account gets nailed with spam. I nuke everything there except for emails from the gun boards.
